U. S. Plans To Refund
Soldiers' Travel Pay You may now send a package of
"eats" or other comforts from home
to your doughboy in France or Ger
many without a written order from
him, announced the Wayne county
Red Cross through Miss S. Ethel Clarke Monday.
It was also announced that the gov
ernment is planning to refund the dif
ference between 5 cents a mile and Z cents to any soldiers discharged and given travel pay at the latter rate. Soldiers wishing to apply for
this refund should do it through the Red Cross.
The selling of souvenirs by soldiers
in uniform has not been authorized by
the Red Cross and any cases of this
kind in which the soldier uses the name of the Red Cross should be reported to the local chapter.
The new headquarters of the Home
Service section of the Wayne county
chapter, are located on the tbifd floor
of the courthouse, at the southwest corner. Its service is free, and applies to the families of men in service, and to returned soldiers and sailors and their families. It stands ready to give information concerning family allowances, allotments, compensations, government Insurance, vocational education tor disabled men, bonuses, travel
pay, and other legislation and regulations for the benefit ot soldiers and
sailors and their relatives.
While the Home Service Section is
anxious to render every service possi
ble, it cannot do so unless It is in
formed of individuals and families needing Its attention. It requests that persons knowing of such cases inform the office. All advice and assistance
obtained from the Home Service Sec
tion is given and taken in the strictest confidence.

Boys Camp Officials Here To
Confer With "V Managers William Comfort, who will take
charge of the commissary department at the boy's camp near Mlamisburx
this summer, is at the Y. M. C. A. where he will confer with O. M. Branson and K. W. Harding, Monday afternoon. -
As Comfort has had experience as a
physical director, he may aid Harding in directing the athletic side of the camp. Comfort is a college graduate and served as a baker on a transport during the late war.
A total of thirty-one boys besides
the troop reservations have signed to
go to camp this summer.

It has been said, "A silk hat can cover a multitude of sins." Let us add to that and say, !A fancy case and a foreign sounding Swiss name upon the dial can cover a very poor watch." American mechanical and engineering world leadership has been won by making comparisonsnot comparisons of appearances,; but comparisons of facts and performances putting two and two together and multiplying the result until a new standard of quality and a new high mark in invention has been attained. - That is just what has been taking place in watchmaking. Time was when we had only the European standards to work to, but aftv nearly three-quarters of a century of American brain work and genius work, the American-made watches have been declared, even in Switzerland, unexcelled in all the world. Let us quote from a leading Swiss horologist, M. Favre-Perret, who was one of the watch judges at the great Centennial Exposition held in Philadelphia in 1 876- He stated that the 40,000 workmen in Switzerland, working by hand, produced each, but 40 watches a year; while an American workman by the use of highly developed and marvelous machinery, produced 150 watches a year. His most significant statement made at that time was that the Swiss watch was inferior, in quality to the American watch in every particularfacts which they proved at the Exposition when it defeated all Swiss competitors in every test, and M. Favre-Perret was one of the judges.
Ml Favre-Perret, in an article written for the Journal de Geneve, stated that the American watch factories amazed him for the "precision and rapidity of the machine tools there, which supplanted the slow and variable hands of the artisan.' He eulogized the commanding superiority and uniformity of the movements produced and the marvelous reductions in cost coincident with improvement in quality over the Swiss watch. These are his own words: "In 1880. at the great International Exposition held in Sydney. Australia, American Watches again defeated theworlds best watches, winning every award and many other distinctions. In fact, a Waltham Watch of the sixth grade. Watch No. 6, case number 1221336, gave a better performance than many of the costly and otherwise expensive watches in competition, and was recommended in the official report." In this world competition Charles V. Woerd, mechanical superintendent at Waltham. was given a first-class award for his new mode of compensating balances. N This is the significant fact America's claim to world leadership in watchmaking is related to America's claim that in engineering and mechanical skill she leads the world. The American laboratories and experimental shops have given many inventions and improvements to the "works" of the watch. The American Watches embody so many distinctive superiorities in their "works" that it would need a book to quote them in full. , One will suffice: The balance wheel of a watch auto
matically allows for variation in temperature to which your watch may be subjected. Owing to expansion and contraction of metal which, under heat or cold, would increase or decrease the diameter if the balance wheel, thereby affecting the number of time-keeping vibrations per second, the American balance wheel, for instance, is made of specially treated steel and brass, fused together and rolled under high pressure to produce the necessary temper after fusing. . Therefore, the balance wheel in American made watches readily responds to varying temperatures, while the balance in the Swiss watch is apt to be too soft and lacking in temper to keep perfect time or to be easily repaired. This is but one of many reasons , why the horologists of the great nations came to American for time- They appreciated - these scientific superiorities in the "works" of the American Watch. This store has for years recommended American made watches and the statements above only prove that we were right. Leading American Jewelers everywhere are taking the attitude that while they can perhaps make a little more profit on Swiss watches, that it is a patriotic duty to sell American made watches to Americans, even though they make less on them. We all know about the cheapness of foreign labor and we prefer to back up our Americans in American watch factories and particularly so because they are now producing the world's best watches.

D'Annanzio Resigns Post In Flying Corps ROME. Sunday. May 25. Gabriels d'Annunzlo, the poet aviator, resigned his post as lieutenant colonel in the Italian army, after the general in command of the flying corps had ordered his immediate return to camp. D'Annunzlo. who was a volunteer, exercised his right In asking to be retired, saying that he considered the order from the general of a political nature rather than military.
SPECIAL A Value of Unusual Merit
embracing every desired feature to be had in many of the highest priced
watches. With its 1 7 ruby jewel move
ment, double roller and steel escape
wheel, in a beautiful 20 year thin
model gold filled case, it is truly a
wonderful value. Choice of white,
silver or gold dial, at
$25.00
The World's Standard Railroad Watch that is so good that it is used by over 63 per cent of all railroad men is surely . good enough for anyone who demands the utmost in accuracy and service. It is obvious that railroad men must have watches of guaranteed accuracy, and the Hamilton has been for years the recognized standard watch.
TVIake Your I Watchword the Hamilton because Hamilton means accuracy, precision, faithful performance of duty day in and day out as well as beauty.
